Bio

i post for attention and affection (it's a youngest child thing): memes, tech rambles, newly acquired domain names, and short irreverent nonsense i think is funny. ymmv.

seattle based. single parent. self-unemployed after >20 years in big tech

created 1st mastodon account: 2022-12-22
found out i was a girl: 2022-12-22
(former was causal to the latter)

i don’t use ai in my writing because it capitalizes words, and also because writing is the fun part for me (you do you!)

ask me about my banger domain names!

re: twitter, let me get this cis -

* this site and its owner contribute to some genocides and will be instrumental in the assault on the lives of marginalized people including some in your life

~~ i'm sticking it to elon by not buying twitter blue! we're the resistance on twitter!

* i can't use tweetdeck anymore

~~ we will instantly boycott and how dare elno do this! we made this platform what it is! we're leaving because you don't appreciate us!

just trying to understand here where my life is on the list of priorities relative to being able to use a preferred social media app to argue with literal nzais

Up until a few days ago I thought fpov just meant "first person pov" instead of a distinct genre of pornography I already watch a lot of because it makes me feel funny

I was in a video meeting with a (nice) coworker. 10 minutes in he says "ok I tried to be cool about it, but what the fuck is going on with your watch"

"I'm really popular I know like four people, maybe even five soon if im lucky!"

*confused look*

" .... and they live inside my phone."

Sharing a YT account with my 8 year old daughter means I get a lot of recommended content about snakes and dolls, and she occasionally gets tricked into watching explanations of differently sized infinities or how dishwashers work.

If internalized, subconscious homophobia is why women have dated me in the past, my bullies were right all along: a girl would have to be crazy to date me.

(and of course they were right that i'm, like, super gay ~💕)

Some server admins have an even bigger god complex than the PHP bulletin boards of yesteryear, which I didn't even think possible.

My guess is, it's because their power is fairly impotent (ppl will just leave and get to keep all/most connections). Gotta double down and abuse the little power they have while they still have it. It's literally the exact same thing Musk is doing on Twitter, with the exact same "logic" behind it.

Reminds me of the hall monitors at my kid's elementary school, except children usually know they're being little shits.

Only grown-ups get this deluded by their biases.

Lost power but my backup power is keeping my fiber internet and network running. I knew it would be able to power my network but wasn't sure if I'd get an upstream connection... surprisingly I do.

So yeah I can't cook or nothing but I got wifi

I think I was just offered money for sex?

And by that I mean: a man offered to paypal me money for sex

I do not currently plan on becoming a sex worker but i DID wonder what the offer would have been

I love that the product managers of Google Photos just have never had any bad memories.

Or do other people enjoy auto-created slideshows of their mom's funeral set to a jaunty tune?

And much love to the throwbacks of all my failed relationships. THANKS I DON'T THINK ABOUT THOSE ENOUGH DO ONE ABOUT MY ASS NEXT

I typically can't scroll older than a few hours on my home feed. I've tried the web and different clients.

Anyone know what's up with that?

Is it a known limitation, bug, or something else? I've tried with boosts and replies disabled but no luck.

I just want to read the toots people tooted... is that so wrong
